Just like Beyonce, I am looking for someone that ain't afraid to hold the door open for me, pull my chair, kiss me tenderly and public display of affection. A little about me...I believe that learning is essential to life. My beliefs include a devotion to God, a passionate respect for my children and their needs even though they are grown and that there is a good man that will complement my existence. I am simple yet sophisticated. My love is about substance and not pretense. Pretentiousness has little room in my life. I like simple trips to museums, theater, shopping, galleries and traveling. I am not a bar person. Having been raised largely by my dad, I have a strong respect for men. I pray that I never do anything that is out of integrity. Life is too short to be hurting those that you care about. My joys start with kids (who live on the west and east coast), jazz, museums, dining out, wine, mexican food, grilling and chillin' in my own little sanctuary. I work out twice a week to keep my heart pumping.
What am I really looking for in a partner? I am looking for a partner - while I would love to marry again, even having someone that I can depend on for those weekend road trips, a late dinner after we have both put in long days, or that Sunday morning cuddle time on the couch, with Jazz, coffee and a good read, just helps me fantasize about life being good for both of us.You are mature, know how to have fun and enjoy good lively conversation. You realize that time is a valuable 'commodity' and you are willing to make time for me. I, of course, will return the privilege showering you with appreciation. Are you religious or spiritual? How adventurous are you? Do you take risks or play it safe? I've learned some hard lessons. I know that I cannot fight for a relationship alone. While I am willing to compromise, our value system is who we are. There isn't much about your value system that is negotiable. I won’t try to change you and likewise I hope you won’t try to change me.
